Exercises on Stoichiometric Calculations

1 Write the appropriate chemical equation for the following reactions. Indicate
the physical state of each chemical species in the equation.

a. Zinc powder reacts with HCl solution giving zinc chloride and hydrogen
gas.

b. Magnesium ribbon was burned in air producing magnesium oxide.

2 Balance the following chemical equation.

a. Ba(NO3)2(aq) + Na3PO4(aq) Ba3(PO4)2(s) + NaNO3(aq)

b. AlCl3(aq) + K2SO4 Al2(SO4)3(s) + KCl(aq)

3 How many moles of oxygen will completely combust one mole of benzene,
C6H6?

4 When one mole of H2(g) reacts with one mole of O2(g), how many moles of
H2O will be produced?

5 When one mole of Al2S3 reacts with excess H2O, how many moles of Al(OH)3
and H2S will be produced?

6 How much Aluminum chloride in grams is needed to completely precipitate

1.74 grams of K2SO4 (FW=174g/mol)?

7 How much zinc chloride in grams will be produced when 6.54 grams of zinc
(FW = 65.4g/mol) reacts with 3.65 grams of HCl (FW=36.5g/mol)? Which
reactant is the limiting reactant?

8 How much calcium chloride (FW=111g/mol) in grams will be needed to

produce 1.00 gram of CaCO3 (FW=100g/mol) assuming Na2CO3 is in
excess?

9 If 1.70 grams of AgNO3 (FW=170g/mol) reacts with 3.32 grams of KI, how
much AgI (FW=235g/mol) will be formed? Which is the limiting reactant?

10 The expected yield in exercise 6.6 is 2.35 grams of AgI. Assuming only 2.00
grams of AgI were obtained experimentally, what is the percent yield for the
reaction?
